It's not that we don't fare well out there it's that we have a lot of retards that don't need to be driving anything running with us! Your quote, case in point...she swears she wasn't at fault for that accident either at BOTD. Whateva!!! HAHA!

Man, me and you are on the same page! I'm just saying, with the party in question...I expect nothing less. Driving style changes with age and driving experience too...

Phoenix7 · 04-12-2008, 12:48 AM

will you all stop tip toeing around this shit??? What happened and how???

I8U · 04-12-2008, 12:54 AM

There's no tip-toeing here...flat out Pink Flea is a horrible driver! I've seen her drive and know this from first hand account...I really expected her to get into some kinda accident up there this time around. Shit just seems to follow her around...I don't have specifics on what happened this time around, all I know is she wrecked her newly purchased pink FC...probably driving like she normally does, bad. HAHA!

Apparently she lost it on the Hellbender somewhere near Fontana earlier in the day. Smacked the front end pretty good it sounds like. I saw her drive by in the dark at the village and it looked as if the only problem was the PS headlight would open. I didn't get a good look at the car but she said it drives fine, just the nose is screwed up, off center, whatever. That and it decided to dump all the coolant after I saw her at the Village. Up to that point she said it was running fine. I imagine if the nose got smacked she may have cracked something up front. Guess we'll pop the hood in the morning and see what's up.

I8U · 04-12-2008, 01:05 AM

Damn Greg, that makes it just a little more funny...to lose it on Hellbender...wow! HEHE! Atleast she didn't get hurt or hurt anyone else...

Turbo II · 04-12-2008, 01:18 AM

I saw skid marks on the Hellbender Thursday where someone else lost it on a left hander and smacked the left side bank. The Hellbender can be as bad or worse than the Dragon in a few places.

It might be time to start having a "Drivers Meeting" before you're allowed on the track up here!!!

My first pass through any of these roads the first time every year is a warm up lap for me. Check the car out, check me out, check the road out. After that, I have fun. I've had a couple of close calls up here already this weekend with the incident Thursday and a tractor trailer rig yesterday. If a biker hadn't been leading him through warning people I would have smacked the hell out of him in the turn since he was all in my lane.

I8U · 04-12-2008, 01:25 AM

I guess since the speed limit is a lot higher there a lot people under estimate how technical it can be...I definitely agree about having a drivers meeting. I do the same as you when I'm there, a couple runs at a relatively slow pace to get a grip on the conditions (car/road), and take it up a notch or two after that.

Turbo II · 04-12-2008, 01:31 AM

In other news, my bed sucks!!!! It's like sleeping in a damn marshmallow or something. You sink down into the damn thing and can't roll or turn over without having to get completely out of the damn thing just about!!!! I'm about ready to pull the blankets off and sleep on the damn floor hah!

I8U · 04-12-2008, 01:34 AM

That's too bad Greg, well my bed is looking pretty good right about now! I got a big day planned today...installing the new springs, stainless steel brake lines, and swapping out my brake fluid with ATE racing blue fluid!!! Lot's of fun!

Phoenix7 · 04-12-2008, 04:01 AM

sux. Hope everything else goes well.

Yep. I wouldn't be surprised.

Thats true, everyone knows an FC is better.
